DevilChaos333 tried hard and got more points in total, while humptydumptyeater is the only one to have reached Gold. Therefore I declare an ex-aequo and both will get RPW. Congrats and thanks for playing!

CORE LADDERING CHALLENGE – CYCLE 21

♫ OLD MACDONALD HAD A FARM... ♫

1763371491389.png

And on this farm he had a cow: :tauros::tauros-paldea-combat::tauros-paldea-aqua::tauros-paldea-blaze::terrakion:
And on this farm he had a horse: :mudsdale::spectrier::glastrier::keldeo:
And on this farm he had a pig: :emboar::oinkologne::grumpig::mamoswine:
And on this farm he had a dog: :mabosstiff::arcanine::arcanine-hisui::houndoom::houndstone::dachsbun::granbull::okidogi:
And on this farm he had a cat: :meowscarada::persian::persian-alola::incineroar::espeon::perrserker::raikou::meowstic:
And on this farm he had a duck: :quaquaval::swanna::golduck:
And on this farm he had a chicken: :blaziken::fezandipiti:
And on this farm he had a sheep: :ampharos:
And on this farm he had a goat: :gogoat::iron-crown::cobalion:
And on this farm he had a rabbit: :raboot::calyrex:
And on this farm he had a scarecrow: :cacturne:
And on this farm he had himself: :conkeldurr:



...Ok you get the drill. Shoutout to all farmers with a fun little challenge, using only mons from the above-mentioned evolution lines.
Also only one mon per animal category, for example double horse Spectrier+Glastrier is not accepted.

I think I caught all farm-related-ish mons. If you have extra suggestions please ask me first and I'll edit the list if I agree with you.

Prefix is 1vFarm (or 1vclc21 if you hate change).
